UPDATE 3PM- POLTICO'S BEN SMITH ALSO FINDS THE GALLUP MODEL BIZARRE AND HAS CONTACTED GALLUP TO EXPLAIN ITSELF. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A REPSONSE SOON ON THE ISSUE? Politico's Smith Questions Gallup, Calls Gallup for Answers
Poll guru Simon Rosenberg at NDN has been hammering away at MSM misconceptions of the 2010 midterms. Today he wrote up a piece challenging Gallup to change its model because he argues its impossible and its hard to oppose the facts presented.
Gallup claims it revised its screen etc under critiques of its projection of how massively conservative the electorate they project will be Nov 2. Rosenberg says its revision makes matters worse and renders Gallup polling not credible. How? Well..
